Mood: Perfectly fine.
Listening to: Carrie, the movie.. on The Cinemated Man’s movie channel. He’s pretty good. You should check it out if you get a chance.
So.
I have the most awesome father-in-law in the world. As we all know my PS3 got borked when the lightning struck right outside. And we’re still waiting for the money from the insurance. Anyway. He got a PS3 ages ago but couldn’t quite get the hang of it, being used to the PS2. We visited one day to help with some TV stuff and he said I could borrow his till I got a new one. So I did.. got five games in the pack. Gran Turismo (irch), Ratchet and Clank (hmmm), The Smurfs 2 (sigh), Ice Age 4 (…) and Uncharted 3 (wheee). Hang on, there’s a whiney kid on TV. Can’t stand them. So yeah. We borrowed it, and played little. I didn’t want to play any of my other games, just in case I could, when I got the new one, put the old hard drive into the new one. We can try, right?
So, some time passed and we visited again. And suddenly I got his bill of sale that had some insurance thing on it too.. In case it broke. And a few days after that Jan said to me that he thought I might as well keep it, the PS3, because… well… it seemed like it to him. So I made him make sure. And sure enough.. My awesome father-in-law gave me his PS3.
He has also after that gotten a new one for himself… Go figure. I guess he is powerless to resist, like I am.
SO!!! I got DARK SOULS!!! FINALLY!!! =D
And last night we tried to put the old hard drive into the new one. But I guess it got toasted in the lightning strike too. Oh well. So I made a new account and all that. I’m going to play a little bit later on. I’m just gonna finish this first.. or I’ll play tomorrow. I really wanted to get a Roxio Game Capture thingie, so that I could go on Twitch and show everyone just how bad I am at gaming. XD
But honestly, I don’t know how long I will be able to wait. We’ll see. I could just go ahead and play.. and I’ll get to a point where I just can’t continue.. and that’s when I’ll go live and… maybe not.
I still have Dead Space 2 I can play. It’ll scare the shit out of me, but I’ll do it.. some day…
I wish I had the Roxio for when my brother and I played the London Olympics. Man, I wish I had the whole thing on tape. It was so hilarious…and I still laugh at the memory of us trying to do the javelin throw.
So, as I got Dark Souls I also got The Shining, the book. I started reading it and I have to admit I’m expecting scary stuff to leap off the page the whole time I’m reading it. Maybe not the best idea to read it in bed….
Damn, Carries mother is creepy.
I also tried to find a fake leather jacket. I had been drooling over the picture of it for weeks, and I finally got a chance to check it out. It wasn’t as nice as I thought. 🙁 So I got very disappointed. But I’ll get some bike boots instead. I need some winter shoes.
I’ve also finally decided that I really need a drivers license. I just need some money first. It’s not exactly cheap.
What else…
Animal Crossing – new leaf. I think I’ve collected almost all the fossils, I’m missing like 10 bugs or something… and 15 fish.. I think. I’m having great fun being a mayor. I also think the villagers are getting a little tired of me trying to expand my house all the time, which I’m finished with now. I really don’t want all of the suggestions they’ve come with to “improve” Clamydea. Oil pump? Really?? I am getting the dream thingie, tho. I think I’ll start it up today. After I’ve showered.
I’ve also been thinking about getting Beyond: Two Souls. I just don’t know, tho. I mean…. I don’t think I’d be very good at that rapid decision thing. I think I’d get frustrated and give up. I think it’s a game I’ll watch being played by others.
OH! I’m getting my hair done on Tuesday. I can’t wait to get re-blondiefied. It’s getting a little dark at the roots.
And I just realized that the heart on my sweater makes my chest look like a gorilla chest/bold spot. Remind me never to wear the sweater to the zoo. A gorilla might take a shining to me and violate me. And we wouldn’t want that. I think they aren’t the softest of lovers.
I guess that’s about it. I’ve been working and playing, watching movies and sleeping… and eating. I’m making meatballs for dinner today.. in gravy. Haven’t had proper meatballs in ages. Yum.
OH!! My Venus Flytrap is blooming! Or growing. They’ve really enjoyed the flies we’ve been plagued with this year. So much so it’s going to bloom soon. I’ll snap some pictures of it when it does. I’ve never seen a Venus Flytrap bloom before.
Well, I’ll hang my laundry now and then take a shower. I’ll try to post more often. What can I say.. I’m lazy.
Be utterly excellent to each other.
